Oh, yes, it's very funny that Greg deKoenigsberg -- who is supposed to be
some kind of responsible adult supervision -- implies that anybody who
wants to watch YouTube or listen to a podcast is a glassy-eyed zombie.
Ha ha. See me laugh. Yes, that is *exactly* the kind of attitude that
will get us above 4% market share. Not.
Um, the brainwashing mentioned is on the part of the Fedora community -
a jest (admittedly weak) about "indoctrinating" users into the free
software way of thinking.
Probably not as brilliant as showing up at a protest dressed as Obi Wan
Kenobi, but we can't all be Important, Serious People.
